Binny Bansal has sold a further $14 million of Flipkart shares after selling off $76 million worth in June, TNN reported, citing company filings accessed by the data intelligence firm Paper.vc. Bansal now holds a 3% share in Flipkart. 

Bansal is turning his focus to investing in Indian start-ups and is currently chairman of xto10x Technologies, a business offering consulting services to start-ups. According to YourStory, Bansal has backed over 25 start-ups and has invested in several multiple times.

Bansal previously invested in Abhishek Agarwal’s fashion group Purple Style Labs which runs the fashion e-commerce platform Pernia’s Pop-Up Shop among other fashion ventures. Bansal's investment contributed to the group raising a total of $8 million since its launch in 2015.

Bansal left Flipkart in November 2018 after founding the e-commerce business in October 2007. Bansal had left the business amid claims of misconduct in the workplace months after Walmart had acquired a 77% stake in it the summer before.
